Chapter Five
"What is it Sango? What's the matter?" Miroku asked once they got into the living room.
"We've been keeping a secret from you." Kagome said. They both looked down," I'm sorry, but I hope you understand. We're criminals."
"I know." Inuyasha said." But I don't know why."
"What do you mean you know?" Sango asked and looked up.
"Well, the night when we went to the party, our boss called us." Miroku said.
Flashback to 2 nights ago
Ring "Hello?" Miroku answered the phone.
"It's me, Myouga. We found out who the robbers were, but it's odd why they could be criminals, their permanent records are clean. They haven't done anything wrong at all. Not even a speeding ticket."
"Who are they then?" Inuyasha picked up another phone and listened to the conversation.
On the other line, Myouga was looking through his files. "Their names are...ah ha...its Kagome Higurashi and Sango Urashima."
'What?! But it can't be the same Kagome and Sango. It just can't!' Inuyasha thought.
"Well, is that all you know?" Miroku asked.
"Yes, but it's a real mystery why they would do such a thing. They seem like perfectly good girls according to our research and findings." Myouga said.
"Alright thank you." Miroku said and hanged up. Inuyasha still held on the phone and was shocked. He eventually hanged up and sat back on the couch where Miroku was. Then the girls came out.

"So you knew all along and didn't tell us or do anything about it?" Kagome asked.
"No, because after the party, I knew you had to have a good reason." Inuyasha said.
Kagome still looked down, "How can you be so sure of that?"
Inuyasha lifted her chin and wiped away her falling tears, "Because ...I just do." Then he hugged her. The tore apart when Miroku broke the moment.
"So are you going to tell us why you robbed the place? We know you have a good reason."
"Well, there's this guy named Naraku. He kidnapped my brother, Kohaku, and Kagome's cousin, Shippo. He said if we want them back, we have to do things for him." Sango said and started to cry into Miroku's chest.
He started to run his fingers through her dark brown hair. "It's going to be ok. We'll help you get them back."
"How can you just trust us like that?" Kagome said looking up.
"I don't know. Your story does clear out and we just can't turn you in." Miroku said.
"Why not?" Sango pulled away from their embrace.
"Because we like you girls too much." Inuyasha laughed.
"Well, it's late. We gotta get some sleep." Miroku yawned.
"What? That's it, you don't care that we're criminals?" Sango said with confusion.
"Well, yeah. You explained yourselves and now I'm tried. Let's go to sleep." Inuyasha said.
"And you're going to let us stay here?" Kagome asked, also confused.
"Duh, you're not really criminals. You're just victims here. And if you were, we can't just throw you out into the cold." Inuyasha said.
"And you girls are too cute to be criminals anyway." Miroku added.
The girls smiled." You're right. We better get some sleep." Sango said.
"Yeah, and tomorrow we can go to the station and straighten everything out. Okay with you?" Inuyasha asked,
"Yeah, of course." Kagome said.
"What is it Sango? What's the matter?" Miroku asked once they got into the living room.
"We've been keeping a secret from you." Kagome said. They both looked down," I'm sorry, but I hope you understand. We're criminals."
